Every child, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, should be able to see themselves in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math

Every school deserves the means to make that happen. Watch the video to find out how STEM4Real went from a children's book, to a movement.

Educators Shouldn't Have to Choose

Between Standards & Equity

While some professional learning programs offer standards-based instruction and others offer equity and social justice, we are unique in that WE DO BOTH! Here’s how!

We provide the following professional learning programs that incorporate Networking <> Leadership <> Instruction

Our mission is to provide joyful and high quality STEM professional learning that combines STEM content + Culturally Responsive Teaching.

Our Programs

The STEM #4Real Network

The STEM4Real Network is a one-of-a-kind professional learning experience that combines live webinars, collaboration, networking and ongoing professional development focused on STEM content and social justice.

We will equip our educators with the #4REAL approach to achieving a socially just and standards-based STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education.

Including Students is a Game Changer!

Happy Client

Having students generate questions about a phenomenon is such a good way of including every student, every experience, and every culture in science. Any student can be a scientist and can make references to other material they are learning in school or to past experiences due to the many cross-cutting concepts implemented through NGSS

I'm excited about these tools and strategies!

Network Member

There are many tools and strategies that I am excited to implement within my classroom. They include the sticky note brainstorm strategy, doing a nature/campus walk to observe and write down phenomena, seeing the NGSS as 3 dimensions of what the student can think, know, and do, and also the 5E lesson planning template tool.

I love the structure

Happy Client

I loved the techniques for structuring NGSS (3D, 5E, CER). NGSS was feeling really open-ended but it now feels like I have a better understanding of how to plan both short and long term.
